Managing IP Networks


Centralized User Portal
Cisco Prime™ Portal Provides:
• Single point of entry into the
network for operator access to all
needed information
• Reduced operational costs using an
integrated framework for operators Access, Aggregation, Edge, and Core
and administrators
• Increased efficiency with
transparent transition between
functional areas

Unified Inventory Common Event and Alarm Management

Service Design and Activation
• Accelerate service
deployment for MPLS
services and tunnels with
easy-to-use point-and-click
Resource Pools
service-creation wizards
• Eliminate manual errors Policy

with automation
Service Provisioning Lifecycle


Physical and Logical Maps

Network Discovery
• Faster and more cost-effective core
router management with automatic
discovery of all network components Logical and
Physical

• Complete end-to-end visibility of all Inventory

network elements, covering a wide
variety of Cisco products from edge to
access, aggregation, and core
• Physical and logical topologies
• Multivendor support
Maps That Include Integrated
Third-Party Devices


Monitor, Inspect, and Diagnose Network Faults
• At-a-glance view of network health for
fast fault isolation
• Alarm correlation to rapidly diagnose
and remediate faults that span
multiple domains
• Affected parties who report on
specific fault scenarios (e.g., MPLS
black-hole detection, MPLS TE
Tunnel Flapping or Repotimized)

50:1 Average Event Reduction

Performance Statistics Aggregated Statistics

• Network health monitoring
identifies degraded services or
prevents congestion through
threshold crossing alerts (TCAs)
or performance statistics trend
analysis (IP-SLA interface
statistics, MPLS TE Tunnel
statistics, etc.).
• This monitoring allows service
providers to deliver outstanding
quality, exceed service-level
agreements (SLAs), and better
differentiate their offerings.
